This is a great deal on the finest equipment for anyone heading off the groomers should carry. I just bought this set-up before our latest ski trip to Austria, and it worked great. In addition to its kickass use as a ski pack, the pack also worked great as a carry-on with the airlines (although I stuck the shovel & probe into my checked luggage so airport security wouldnt freak). The Pulse Barryvox transceiver is the absolute best on the market my buddies were all stoked that I had it because it locates buried signals (by that I mean their buried bodies) faster and more easily than anything else out there. And I was a bit nervous because they had cheaper tranceivers that were glitchy and hard to use.
Fortunately we stayed out of avalanche trouble (not always easy to do). This is not the kind of equipment that is worth saving a little bit of cash on whats your buddies life worth? Get the Mammut Respect 30 Avalanche Package and know youve got the best avie gear (and then train & practice using it!).

How did you pack the shovel handle on this pack. It seems too long for the front pocket. I've been struggling trying to get this package to work as smoothly as I would like. What's the best way you;ve found?
